Recycled Aggregates
Recycled aggregates are paving the way for more sustainable and cost-effective construction solutions. Derived from repurposed materials like concrete, asphalt, brick and soil, these aggregates provide a high-quality, sustainable alternative to quarried aggregates. By diverting waste from landfills and reducing the need for virgin resources, recycled aggregates play a critical role in minimising environmental impact.
At Groundworx Grabhire Ltd, we are passionate about sustainability and providing our clients with recycled materials that meet both their project and environmental goals. Whether for landscaping, road construction, or general building work, recycled aggregates offer a reliable and sustainable choice that doesn’t compromise on quality or performance. We have a wide range of recycled aggregates available to offer you a range of products from crushed stone, to drainage gravels, sand and topsoil.
How Recycled Aggregates Are Produced
Collection: Waste materials such as concrete, asphalt, bricks and soil are collected from a variety of sites such as demolition and construction sites. Sorting: The materials are carefully sorted to remove contaminants like wood, metal, or plastics if present.
Screening: The materials are then screened to separate out the different sizes of aggregates. This is when we mainly produce screened topsoil and oversize aggregates for crushing.
Crushing: The sorted materials are then crushed into various sizes, creating different grades of aggregates.
Delivery: The repurposed materials get sold back into market which minimises any waste
